It is quite apparent that this letter has a very definite bearing upon the Christian life, particularly to those people of the Jewish nation to whom it is written. That James has these believers in mind is clear from the opening verse.

It is also apparent that the various writers of the New Testament laid emphasis upon different aspects of Christian living in their writings. James was the man of faith and works, Paul was the man of faith and love, Peter was the man of faith and hope, and John was the man of faith and truth, but all insisted upon personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

NORMAN MELLISH, although born into an ungodly home, attended Sunday school. However as a young boy he forsook the right way of the Lord. It wasn’t until he was 15 year old, when God confronted him with the thoughts of eternity, that he returned to the Gospel Hall, heard the gospel of the grace of God, and trusted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour. As a young man the Lord exercised him to preach the gospel, as a result he started Gospel tent meetings in the city of Manchester UK at the age of 28. After 5 years of tent work in the city, the Lord led him into full time ministry. In 1968 he was commended by the Wythenshawe assembly. He has been to the British Isles, North America, Brazil, Australia, and various parts of Europe to preach the gospel and minister the truth of God to those who love God’s name.
